Chapter 804 Solar Wind

As the abomination smiled, swinging his fist at Jack's face, a rush of divine magic flooded from his side. His eyes barely moved, seeing Lydia jump on a table while students were still in class, she burst through the door and swung her sword, only the window's glass between her and the abomination, and he could feel that he had to run.

[Divine Cleaver] Lydia's swing destroyed the whole wall and the students were blasted back to the inner wall, gasping for air as they saw her fly away to the edge of the garden, pushing the abomination with her blade.

"What was that?!" A student cried.

"Don't move!" Jack shouted at them, "A monster infiltrated the school, wait for your teacher to come back."

"Jack?!" Those were his classmates, "What are you doing there? The light poles aren't a toilet, you know that?"

"Wait, is that armored girl the monster?" Another gasped.

"Shut up! And no, that girl is my wife; I'll cut you apart if you insult her again." Jack jumped away, using his strings to swing from one light pole to another.

One of the students approached the shattered wall, staring forward as dust and debris slowly fell, "Wife? That was a paladin smile, what do you mean a wife?" He sighed. They had heard the chairman's warning earlier and so they did expect some noise, but not like this.

The abomination landed on the ground, rubbing his head. "That hurts, a paladin's smite, how annoying."

"The first swing is to protect." Lydia said, walking toward him with divine magic burning from her shoulders. Protection was her first oath, and it was fulfilled by protecting Jack and getting the abomination away from the other students.

"I can tell, that you aren't supposed to exist in this world." She stabbed her sword into the ground, cracking the garden as divine flames burned from the cracks. This was her oath of balance, preventing those who would harm the harmony of the world from existing.

"A creature like you must've harmed thousands of lives. That is the case isn't it?" She glared at him with a golden spark burning in her eyes.

"Indeed, I pride myself on my achievements. Even if it activates your oath, I'll never claim to be less efficient than I am." He smiled, his thin and pale body growing larger, burning with a dark green eldritch magic.

As confident as his roar seemed, he was still worried that he was facing a three-oath paladin. While most mortal classes draw power straight from Aria, the archon of the overgod, paladins draw extra power from their god on top of that, making them more dangerous.

The problem with a paladin is that their power relies heavily on their faith in their god and that god's willingness to provide them with power. The more the paladin's goal aligns with their god, the more power the god will give them to achieve it.

Judging by the divine power leaking off Lydia, he could tell that the god behind her was one of the latest things he wanted to deal with at the moment. The previous queen of the heavens and the shining starlight of the world, the one and only glory that never fades, the one above all else and the third strongest of the gods, the one his kind dubbed the world mother.

Luckily, both the school and Croc City were protected by Betty's barrier so they only cracked a bit.

"Another news! One of the signs in the hallways has disappeared! One of the creatures is dead; I'm sending the mage eyes!" She shouted.

They could see Gojo wiping his hands in the empty hallway with Maria sitting in the back, terrified. Strangely enough, the hallway looked spotless; there was no trace of a fight even starting.

Gojo burped, gently covering his mouth, "Excuse me." But suddenly, his eyes shifted to glare straight at the mage's eyes. "Teacher Lucia. No peeping, you pervert." The signal vanished and the image cleared.

"Are you getting us the image or what?" One of the teachers looked at her, waiting for her to change the crystal from the monster location map to the mage eye feed.

"I've...lost signal." She replied.... ^What did just happen? That was Aron's older brother Jogo? Don't tell me he's also another monster...^ She wanted to cry.

Albeit Gojo was strong enough to end the fight without damaging anything, there was another person who managed to end the fight without the abomination getting detected, a creature that stood above everything else.

The moment the abomination clone was about to materialize in the school, it instead appeared alone in a white room. "Where am I?" He gasped.

"I faced one of your kind just a few months ago..." Sena sighed, sitting on a throne in the middle of the room.

Blood drained out of the abomination body and he paled as white as the snow, feeling as if his whole existence faded just by hearing her voice. He could never mistake that, and it was horrifying.

"Cain's daughter!" He cried, jumping away looking for an escape route to warn the main body. But his head appeared sitting in her palm, severed cleanly at the throat.

^What's this...I can't regenerate... my energy is fading rapidly...is this death...^ His mind raced as his eyes looked at Sena's passive face.

"Hohoho..." A faint giggle came from the distance, "That was a decent kill, but you took a bit too long to make it. He had time to realize he was in this white room before his death was engraved into stone." Cain walked in leaning on his cane with a tall woman with black hair and green eyes by his side.

"Even mother came." Sena stood, "It was a clean kill. He couldn't escape anyway."

Cain approached her and smacked her in the head with his cane. The hit didn't hurt; it was more like a gentle knock. "This was a weak clone; the real body would've had a chance of escaping this cell you've made."

"Not that he would've escaped." Sofia said with a smile as she stood beside Cain, "Gracie is right outside waiting in the darkness. He wouldn't have escaped."
